Pronunciation & Spelling
sulfur /ˈsʌlfər/ starts with /sʌl/. Sulk /sʌlk/ and sully /ˈsʌli/ share that /sʌl/; gulf /ɡʌlf/ and engulf /ɪnˈɡʌlf/ share the /ʌlf/ sound inside sulfur. Do not confuse sulfur with suffer /ˈsʌfər/, which lacks the /l/; surf /sɜːrf/ is another lookalike with a different vowel.
